To All Elected and Unelected,
How much more of Canada’s slide into post nationhood are you willing to accept? Remembrance Day was once a solemn event to honor members, past and present, of our once proud military. Declining recruitment is being attributed to a lack of inclusion or diversity in the ranks when the reality is that the military is being decimated, gutted, and demoralized by a combination of benign political neglect and political correctness. Canada’s military has become an ineffective, underfunded mess of political convenience and hypocrisy. To include recruits based on some diversity criteria at the expense of their capability to fight and protect our national sovereignty defeats the necessary purpose of having a military in times of peace and war and dishonors and demoralizes it’s ranks past and present. Perhaps a military that is prepared to fight for God and country is outmoded but to exclude members of faith is discriminatory and removes any sense of a moral compass that should, along with an oath to honorably serve, keep Canada united and strong in the face of the threats of wider conflicts at home and abroad.
How will you honor Canada’s military and it’s veterans this November 11th? Will you wear a plastic poppy and respect only an uncomfortable half minute of silence after some insincere blather from some politician that would rather be elsewhere? Other special interest groups and agendas get more than one day to fly flags at full or half mast. Remembrance Day is to include and unite all Canadians in remembering what it is to respect our history and traditions that made Canada what it once was.
